I think they're trying to cover if guys like Lynch and Bubic continue to not be what was hoped, with the veteran signings (Greinke, et al).
They're just not going to make long-term commitments until they have a chance to assess with competent coaching.
Bubic and Lynch were both pretty successful in the minors and have not translated it to the majors. I think you can make a very fair case that their major league coaching (which includes side work as well as game to game strategy and focus) was poor under Mamoron's regime.
